Is it still worth playing?

A 2008 action platformer for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows, in which a wanderer whose name is never given meets Elika in ancient Persia after a sandstorm sends him off course. The land is coated in the Corruption of Ahriman, black blobs that act as its traps, and healing a fertile ground clears them. The world is open, so any spot can be reached at any time. Elika is the heart of it. Controlled by the computer, she helps in fights and acrobatics, and magic plates let her carry the Prince through longer feats. She also pulls him back when he falls or loses a fight, so there is no death in the usual way. Fights, when they come, are one on one. With every fall caught, a missed jump costs a few seconds rather than a reload, and the climbing still flows from one wall to the next today.
